I can only give you one good reason why I dont recommend Atkins. In 2004, I done the Atkins diet and I went from 210 to 175. When I stopped the diet and started eating bread, potatoes, starchy foods, the weight came back and more. I mean realistically most people can only go before rebounding on this type of diet.

I agree that Atkin's is a no-no for teaching good habits. So many of our foods that are healthy to the body include carbohydrates (vegetables and fruits) and whole grains.
Perhaps it helps to lose weight, but if it can't be sustained for life wihout a negative impact on health, what good is it?
